Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

1) Ubuntu 9.10
2) cryptsetup 2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1ubuntu7

3) In it's help (man cryptsetup) it says:

isLuks <device>

              returns true, if  <device>  is  a  LUKS  partition.  Otherwise,
              false. No options.

4) But when it's run, it doesn't shows anything

# cryptsetup isLuks /dev/sda3

But that device has a luks partition because:

# cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sda3
LUKS header information for /dev/sda3
...
...

And the exit status code is:

  0 -> if it's found
  234 -> if not found
